THE Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) and Dubai-based marine terminal operator DP World are close to resolving a dispute at Fremantle port that threatened to become a bitter stoush.

IT emerged on Tuesday that the company had indefinitely stopped loading and unloading at the port - and locked out wharfies - after the union organised a four-hour work stoppage during an enterprise bargaining process.
